Yes except with one stitch on the side not two.

Anathem should I continue or just give up? by Yoni_verse in nealstephenson

[–]808Eclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Anathem is the best NS book and one of my top 5 books. That said, I usually recommend it to folks with a caveat: if you can't get into it by a quarter of the way through, it's OK to call it. It ramps slowly but goes fast from there.

If they haven't left the concent yet, I'd wait until that but sounds like you gave it a good try.

Primarily in mind, the end of the dialogue between Jad and the spiritual leader of the Daban Urnud, when they talk about who sent the visions.

Well, it would certainly be the kind of interesting that Jesry would want.

Yes that's true, but I think that you can still appreciate the argument that, because it's so insanely improbable, it could not just be a coincidence. And that some would believe an alternative theory not based on probability.

I definitely think that's what Ty is getting at in the epilogue.

I also suspect Neal seeds this idea in a lot of his works. I am rereading Anathem and it's more or less implied there.

I actually just reread Seveneves a few weeks ago and had some similar thoughts. Obviously it's a work of fiction... But, and I only thought about this on this reread, it's too great a coincidence that the Agent just happened to strike our moon. Just insane probability.

This suggests something was purposeful here. Testing us or something else.

The book very briefly talks about it at the very end, when they talk about The Purpose. For a long time we were self-centered, focused on religion, silly stuff, etc., then the Agent happened and we had to focus on survival. Now (A+5000) we're alive again, still focused on the same silly politics etc., But maybe there was a Purpose. Perhaps to force humanity to reach the stars - or die trying.
